My Personal Approach on How I Play and Manage My Budget When Playing Slot Games

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I love playing slots, but I try as much as possible to avoid any feeling of pressure while playing. This is why I always look for high RTP slots (some prefer 95-96%, but for me? I go with 97% or more) because they give better chances to win.
On the other hand, I believe that low volatility games with small wins are better for my case since I have a determined budget that I CAN'T exceed.
I consider this amount of money as an adrenaline rush bought to entertain myself. This is why I use low bets for longer playtime. And of course, I take advantage of free spins if there are any.
I know that it's all about luck, but at least when I'm using this approach, I feel more confident. What about you? Did you ever hit a big prize with a similar strategy? Or do you have any adjustments to my strategy? I would love to hear your thoughts

My strat is to play the slot is..

1. my roll should be 500-1000 times of my total budget. this is to give time for the slot to heat and have you luck.
2. play on a game where you can hit big when the free spin drop! ofcourse there were dead free spin that is why i do budget with 500-1000x
3. buy spin sometimes is a good strat if the normal spin is really dead for sometime.
4. If the initial budget gets 2.5x or more, take out the initial money and continue playing.
5. money is safe, the target now is 10x, its a hit or loose for me.
6. reloading is not good for a single day.

For me, nothing is special about this strategy and plan, most people do it and it works at times and fails at times. The reason that slot games are games of luck is a huge one that we can't ignore as an unfavourable factor, you can only try to manage your portfolio not to lose much but no amount of tweak in approach would make you win more unless you are just luck. But note that huge money gain is mostly caused by huge wagering too (high risk).

I love playing slots, but I try as much as possible to avoid any feeling of pressure while playing. This is why I always look for high RTP slots (some prefer 95-96%, but for me? I go with 97% or more) because they give better chances to win.

If I liked playing slots, I would also follow the same approach to choosing games as you do. It's obvious that the more RTP, the better for the gambler.

On the other hand, I believe that low volatility games with small wins are better for my case since I have a determined budget that I CAN'T exceed.

Then roulette is definitely not a gambling game for your preferences, as it is a gambling game with high variance.

I consider this amount of money as an adrenaline rush bought to entertain myself. This is why I use low bets for longer playtime. And of course, I take advantage of free spins if there are any.

That's the right attitude to bankroll. However, unlike slots, low roulette bets and a long game will give a worse result than several large complete bets.

Well, the most important thing when playing any gambling game is the right attitude towards the bankroll, which you should consider lost before the game. Therefore, the amount of the bankroll should not be critical for the gambler.
Also, I compared your slots gambling strategy with roulette gambling, the strategies are different, but in both games, of course, winning primarily depends on luck, not strategy.

You mean you are filing with small amount of money. Like if you have $10 to use to gamble for the week, you can gamble with $0.05 to $0.5 each time. This is one of the best strategies you can use to have fun while gambling. It prolongs the time you will use while gambling and it does not let you have emotions that can be cause by losing high amount of money which do lead to more loses. But for you, only little loss or profit. That is better. You can have bonus at times and be lucky but always know that casinos have the edge.

This is the best strategy for people that gambles for fun, use small amounts for longer time on slots or any other games for that matter. You can achieve this by having a budget for your bankroll and never exceed the amount like it's said in the OP, if the budgeted amount is what you can afford to loose, you won't be stressed if you lose. Using huge amounts for gambling makes it look like a job to me, it takes the fun out because I'll be under pressure to win, if I don't I'll be compelled to chase loses. Money management is crucial in gambling, if you don't gamble on budgets and be disciplined to stick by it, it can lead to addiction.

What about you? Did you ever hit a big prize with a similar strategy? Or do you have any adjustments to my strategy? I would love to hear your thoughts

In the past when I still play slot often, I only obey the feeling that I have but always starts with the lowest bet. After that a few hundred spin, I began to increase the amount of my bet when I had a feeling to get a free round.
Sometimes this method works well to give maxwin. But it does not guarantee that it will always bring me closer to luck. Because I have also experienced maxwin with just 1 spin.

In conclusion, do what makes you comfortable playing slot games and never be tempted by other people's results but always have the thought that luck will come on time. So never increase the bet higher which makes your budget run out faster and luck has not come.

RTP on slots doesn't really make any difference with the results of an individual's bet, so giving more priority is unnecessary unless you roll hundreds in a day, and that 1% gives a tiny hope of winning better. Free spins are good but if you are attracted to buy the bonus pack just because of the free spins then I recommend not to do it either.

As long as we limit our spending on betting it is not going to harm in anyways.

But note that huge money gain is mostly caused by huge wagering too (high risk).

Big money with big bets also comes into the algorithm set by the casino, so big bets will probably be luckier at first to grow more money and players will believe that they have to keep playing the game and eventually forget that there will be a losing streak waiting for them.

I've seen a lot of games and even I've tried them.
When I play with small bets it is very difficult to get a win, But when I start increasing my bet amount then there are some scatters that appear and give hope of hitting the jackpot. Especially if I do a Max Bet then it looks very easy to get scatters and free spins that result in a mini jackpot.

You're right, as long as gambling is concerned there's nothing you can do that can prevent you from experiencing lose whether slot or sport betting you can never escape that. Even if you decide to use the whole strategies Definitely it can't even save you from experiencing lose in gamble. Which is why as a gambler is always advisable to gamble with what you can afford to lose, because the outcome is not always guaranteed.

[jcojci]

I don't use the same strategy as you. I only use small bet like you so I can play slot games for longer playtime. But I always control my fund so I don't break my limit because losing more money than I can afford really suck. I don't want to have that experience so I always be careful when setting my limit money and try to aware if my balance reduce a lot.

But I never hit a big prize in slot games because I know that is not easy and need to have a big luck. Only those who have that big luck can hit big money while we can only try to enjoy the game.

Wait waiting for this technique to interest me but i didnt understand how it works.
You create a sort of expenditure budget, correct right? And games with budget, and so far everything is clear too i managed to understand this budget trick.
I did not understand the story of 95-97% if you can refresh it out  thank you so much for you time for explane this method

For me slots it a way to rest. Like a cinema or football match. I pay for a "ticket". When i`m to tired and don`t want to do anything - i choose slots for a half an hour with minimal bet. I won few times big enough prizes(if we compare it with my bet of course) but i even didn`t cash out. I just lost it in few next times.

Great mindset. Since you can’t win consistently in slots, it’s best to treat whatever you risk as an expense and just enjoy any profit if you happen to win. With those huge multipliers, big wins are always possible but they’re rare, so it’s all about playing for fun and not expecting too much.

You have a good and fairly detailed strategy of how someone gambles responsibly, maybe I need to try it to do the same, the most important main point is to understand the limits or have a money limit that should not be violated, I think that is the main key, because luck can come at any RTP and the wins vary, small or large depending on the gambler's point of view.

As you said it's just about luck, so it's not about the RTP, because if you feel the strategy you are using now is working well I believe it's not for the long term, maybe even if you have a record then the loss is still big even though you often get profit.
So the strategy in gambling is the same, it can only provide profit for the short term or occasionally, without bankroll management and self-control you will lose big.

Some will agree with you on this while some may not, but I think we all have the best strategy in which we think works for us more better, I also choose in-between the two, what I ensure doing is to place a test using each and try to see which works our more accurately for me in getting better results, this is from what we have conviction about, we can go for any or chose to combine the ranges just as in my own case as well, since this works better for you, then those willing can also give a try.

Sports betting does not make you lose more in the percentage you have,

You can still lose all your bets on sports, but then you know it is your fault or just the expected outcome not happening and not cause the game is designed to function a certain way. I once went a year without any wins on sports betting despite numerous trials.

- Jay -

Yeah that's true even I have lost consecutive days in sports betting because of my own mistakes in analyzing the team or even choosing sports bets that are not familiar with this makes the chances of winning smaller because we don't know the match.
For a year never win? I feel that for 1 year, the probability of winning and losing can be 40/60 whether you win or lose.

If you are playing based on RTP them make sure to use the live RTP instead of the theoretical RTP because that is not accurate based on the stats of all wager done on that specific game.

Much better to consider the volatility and live RTP when choosing slot games to have a more chance that you will play a game that will pay frequently.

In entirely we can't say that gambling with a small amount is always the best strategy, we can say good strategy though, but still not the best, no strategy is the best and as far as I know it is very easy to choose which strategy is best for us at whatever point in time while gambling, sometimes we just want to have fun so at that point we can choose to gamble with a low amount of money and still be ok, like the $0.5 or at most $1 this gives us enough time to play and have the desired fun but still we have the high rollers who's desire is to make big wins so this set of gamblers won't see small amount as a good choice.

Each player chooses what is closer to his feelings. I can't say what I will like tomorrow, for example, now I want to make small bets, enjoy the process, not strain myself too much and just press these buttons to have fun and not spend too much. Maybe in a week I will want to make bigger bets, take a big risk, be ready to lose a large amount, but at the same time have the potential for a big win. I don't even know what I will want in the future. So I just go in and play with different bets that interest me at a particular moment.

This thread actually relates to this.
Does RTP matters? - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5534360.0

Just like my answer to that thread, I also looked at the RTP before and I think it was BK8 that shows all the RTP percentages of each slot game which was not visible for other online casinos. But as play more slots by different providers I find myself winning in higher volatile games than how it is with high RTP games.
For some, this still matters while for others they do not even want to look at the RTP percentage so they won't have any expectations. I am one of those gamblers now, I'd rather just play than see the RTP and let the algorithm decide where the game will go. It's one more part of slots that makes it more entertaining, surprises.
